Unfortunately, in this case I am not a customer of Digital Island in any way, nor have I given them authorization to hammer my network 441 times (and counting) in the last two hours. However I'm thinking that someone else is spoofing their identity in some way...at any rate they should be aware of this problem. Regards, Christopher J.

As the message says, this is not an attack of any kind. It is a system which collects metrics for our Footprint Content Delivery System.
I am sure, Digital Island gets the necessary permissions from network owners before hammering them with those requests, right?
